  Hi, I have a Make New Post Form where a Email Address, Telephone Number and Post Categories fields are entered.

  All fields then displayed on the post but also in User Profile as meta_fields. The user can then update fields which then update the post from there. The only field I can not get to update from the User profile is the Category selection which is the Taxonomy.

  
  
  acf_form_head();
  
  // Hook into ACF form submission
  add_action('acf/save_post', 'save_acf_form_data_to_user_meta', 20);
  
  function save_acf_form_data_to_user_meta($post_id) {
    // Check if this is the submission of the ACF form
    if (isset($_POST['acf'])) {
        // Get the submitted field values
        $field1_value = isset($_POST['acf']['field_662a232270ab5']) ? $_POST['acf']['field_662a232270ab5'] : ''; 
        $field2_value = isset($_POST['acf']['field_662a225d70ab4']) ? $_POST['acf']['field_662a225d70ab4'] : ''; 
  	  $field3_value = isset($_POST['acf']['field_663b690beecac']) ? $_POST['acf']['field_663b690beecac'] : ''; 
  
        // Get the post author ID
        $post_author_id = get_post_field('post_author', $post_id);
  
        // Update user meta for both fields
        if (!empty($field1_value)) {
            update_user_meta($post_author_id, 'email-1', $field1_value); 
        }
        if (!empty($field2_value)) {
            update_user_meta($post_author_id, 'phone-1', $field2_value); 
        }
  	   if (!empty($field3_value)) {
            update_user_meta($post_author_id, 'business_categories_new', $field3_value); 
        }
  		
    }
  }
  
  // Hook into the user profile update action
  add_action('profile_update', 'update_post_meta_from_user_meta');
  
  function update_post_meta_from_user_meta($user_id) {
    // Get the user meta field values
    $user_meta_field_value_1 = get_user_meta($user_id, 'email-1', true); 
    $user_meta_field_value_2 = get_user_meta($user_id, 'phone-1', true); 
    $user_meta_field_value_3 = get_user_meta($user_id, 'business_categories_new', true); 
  
    // Check if the user meta field values are not empty
    if (!empty($user_meta_field_value_1)) {
        // Get the post associated with the user
        $args = array(
            'post_type' => 'listing', 
            'author' => $user_id, // Filter posts by author (user)
            'post_status' => 'publish', // Change if necessary
            'numberposts' => 1 // Only retrieve one post
        );
  
        $posts = get_posts($args);
  
        // Check if a post is found
        if (!empty($posts)) {
            // Update the post custom meta fields with the user meta field values
            update_post_meta($posts[0]->ID, 'email-1', $user_meta_field_value_1); 
            update_post_meta($posts[0]->ID, 'phone-1', $user_meta_field_value_2); 
            update_post_meta($posts[0]->ID, 'business_categories_new', $user_meta_field_value_3); 
  
        }
    }
  }
  

  Any help much appreciated.
